Last semester, I got involved with Girls on the Run as a coach. Unfortunately, my class schedule doesn’t allow me to coach this semester, so I’ve decided to help Girls on the Run of the Rockies provide scholarships as a SoleMate. Girls on the Run of the Rockies has provided just under $600,000 in scholarships in 2014 and 2015 (2016 and 2017 numbers still pending), and are expecting to help 6,000 girls this year.

The cost to Girls on the Run for one girl to participate is $170, but the money raised for scholarships brings the cost for each participant down by at least $55. I want to raise $250 to ensure that at least two more girls than last year get to have scholarships. To help show the immediate impact of your donation, I’ll cut an inch off of my hair for every $50 raised and donate it to a wig-making charity. Assuming my hair grows at the standard rate, fundraising $900 would mean I cut off all my hair.

I have until May 20th, the date of the Colfax Half to fundraise. Please let me know if you have any questions and help me spread the word!
